Seasonal Vedge and fruit from as local as possible,
freerange farm eggs and meat, cheese from some where like Hawes will last for ages and you can get a big cylinders.
Grow some peas and beans yourself, the kids can help.
Make bread and make your own soup.
Help an old dude on his allotment for a cabage or some onions.
Get a good book about wild seasonal foods, you can turn a trip to the woods or beach into a food search.
Shippping athorities can tell you which beaches have safe food, seaweed & sheel fish.
Everything we need Gaia provides.
give 'em gruel!
cabbage and carrot soup with curry powder -trust me
mediterranean vegetable roast with rice or cous cous.
sausages and peppers with tomato and honey sauce.
sausage sarnies
bacon, sausage and sweetcorn square tin fresh pizza.
semolina is a good dessert and breakfast and a box can last forever because a 60ml dry serving would easily serve 3 kids once cooked.
if youv bought a huge bag of potatoes so theyl last, theres always the option for wedges, chips, and jacket potatoes.
if push comes to shove, see if they like butter and sugar sandwiches.
Grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup, Goulash (ground beef, canned tomatoes and macaroni) with canned fruit salad and rolls, Sloppy joes and french fries, Chicken and noodles with tossed salad, green beans and homemade bread, Oven fried chicken legs with mashed potatoes and gravy, broccoli and jello, Chili and crackers, Potato soup and fried bologna sandwiches.
shepherds pie
corned beef hash
stew
lasagne
spag bol - all of these things need minimal ingredients and are very filling. I make these sort of things all the time - me and my partner are on a very tight budget and we only spend ￡80 every 3 weeks on food. I also freeze the left overs for the really skint days!
